Boris Johnsonwins the London mayoral elections

So it's just happened. London has a new mayor: Boris Johnson. The outspoken baffoon of a candidate is now boss of London. Is he a PR person's dream? More headlines than you can shake a stick at that's for certain.

I first heard rumblings earlier this afternoon on Twitter from Mick fealty, the political blogger, who said that senior sources were confirming Boris' win. Then it was confirmed on the news about 30 mins after. My how news spreads to me stuck here at 7pm on a packed train out west.

But back to the PR. What do you think? Will things start to become a bit more entertaining now that someone with loose lips is going out there on our behalf or are we in for a rollercoaster / banana skin / nightmare?
